RE: Chilling out in Procida, Italy

Itโ€™s truly a very unique and unusual tradition. Itโ€™s really interesting โ€” do people actually make them themselves? Thatโ€™s so cool ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I wish there were more unusual and original things like this where we live, because the modern world here has reduced everything to the bare minimum.

These processions are a very community thing and many locals take pride in participating every year. I believe they make the floats themselves, because they've been doing it for so many years.

These festivals are normally held in the smaller villages and towns where they still cling onto the tradition. I wanted to come to this one after the Hive meetup in Alicante earlier this month, but missed it by a day.
